Page 423, Senate report.)
The above is only partial summary
taken from DR.. Fletcher's own testimony,
and it certainly establishes the fact that tn
trustees of the Hospital for the Insane had
no control over the internal management
of that institution that DR.. Fletcher was
given sole and absolute control. If this is
true, thsn the Encouragement the Hos
pital charged by the Journal, DR.. Fletcher
is alone responsible for according to his
own confession. Why then does the JoHr-
nal rage because DR.. Fletcher has been
superseded II wrsng has been done in
the management of the Hospital, as
charged, Dr.. Fletcher has been allowed to
remain too long. The trouble with the
Journal is that it is simply inconsistent
in its position.

DON'T Laugh at Nervous People.

Their sufferings are very real, although you,
with your vigorous physique and strong nerves,
can scarcely believe it. Rather suggest the use
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters which, In remov-

liver and bowels, strikes at and extirpates the
most prolific cause OF chronic nervous trouble.

prolonged mental or physical effort, is also q
stste OF the system where the Intervention of
this tonic is very desirable, more particularly
as its use is to quiet aud relax the tension of
overweight nerves. The Bitters are Invalu-
able in rheumatism, neuralgia and kidney
troubles. Employ no substitute tor it.

The Reason Why.


lChicago News.l
"Will you tell me, youthful angler"
To an urchin did say
As together we sat fishing,
One fair morn, upon the quay,
"Nby the fish to you are partial
And around my hook they play
have had not cen nibble
Since the breaking of the day."
This urchin's face was homely,
And his clothes were torn and thin:
And attached to his 'gallus''
We're his trousers by pin.
For rod he had q sapling;
a jointed pole had hired:
Yet he sat and hauled the fish in
With q skill that made me tired.
Scattered around him were his trophies,
Like the rocks along The shore,
He a hundred fish had taken;
La cold, and nothing more,
But this urchin made no answer.
He did oDlv sit and grin;
Til At length cried in anger:
'"rell mel Tell, thou child OF SIM
'tOr IN iced you to the fishes!
And your bones shall sink from sight
As the sun sinks In the evening"
''Holdl" he cried, 81 have bite"
Then this urchin, smiling, answered,
While another f1sh he took;
Don't y0u get excited, mister,
You forgot to bait your hook"

Notes from Nature.

1 love these gentle tenants OF the wood,
The timid hare, the flibustering jay,
Who, fitting here and there throughout the
day,
Fill with d'scordant notes the solitude.
The chattering squirrel, with piumes of red and
gray;
The wOodpecker beating of his reveille;
The partridge, whirring rapidly away
To denser coyerts where no eye can see.
And often, when beneath the silver moon,
Placid and still the bssking river lies,
The far off vail of some belated loon
Floats family up 10 purple evening skies:
While swaying pines with soft Eoli1n tune,
Forever join in natures sym phony.

The New Baby.

new YORK world.
What strange little man can this be.
So weird and so wizened and wise?
What.mystical things has he seen
With those wide opened wondering eyes?
What treasures untold, from what lands,
Do his soft baby fingers enfold?
What word does he bring from afar,
This stranger so young, yet so old2
Does he bring Us some message from spheres
Unheard Of from worlds we know not
Starry countries we dwell in, mayhap,
AS babies, and now have forgot?
Who can tell what he knows, what he thinks?
He says Lot word, but he looks,
In minute, mere wisdom, I'll swear,
Than is shut in the biggest OF books.

AND all through the curse of the drink;
HOW treated poor Mary, my wife, sir,
God knows can't bear to think.
1 didn't know as loved her
Till the wild dark night she died,
When found her lying so cold and still
And that new born child by her side.
The little lass she has grown, sir
Last June she was eight years old;
Aud what she has been to me, sir,
Can never on earth be told.
When kid, there was no one to mind her
But woman has lived next door;
And she being given to drink too,
Let her fall one day on the floor.
And ever since the poor creatur'
Has been lame with crooked knee;
SO 10 often lift her in my arms
To take her about with me.
Fer really loved the poor mite sir,
And her sweet little eyes OF blue
Was as blue and as bright as her mothers were,
And they looked me through and through.
One night was off to the "public''-
I'd been drinking already-'twas late,
And 1 took little Mary to carry her,
But couldn't walk quite straight.
"Ob daddy, don't gol' she Whispered,
But quick ened my drunken pace,
Aud said, mot another WORD. young un,
Or IN give you slap in the face"
/ was brutal, sir-I know IT.
But the devil was in me then,
And when he gets hold q us with the drink
We are only brutes not men.
And the little lass, she wor quiet,
But felt hot tear fall;
And it seemed to burn right into my hand,
Though she wiped it OF with her shawl.
Straight into my soul 1t entered
II melted my hardened heart;
SO said, "I'll go home, lassie."
That night made new start.
Now, every morning and evening
Ikneel, and with heart sincere
bless my God for saving soul
BY the touch of little ones tear.

September.
New York World

Here's lyric for September,
Best of ali months TO remember:
Month when summer breezes tell
What has happened wood and dell,
OF the Joy the year has brought
And the changes she has wrought.
She has turned the yerdure red;
In the I lue sky overhead
She the harvest-mo0n has hung
L be a silver boat among
Shoals of stars-bright jewels set
In TIE eaIth's blue coronet.
She has brought the orchards fruit
To repay the robins flute
Which has gladdened half the year
With a music liquid clear;
And she makes the meadow grass
Catch the sunbeams as they pass,
Till the autumn's floor is rolled
With a fragrant cloth of gold.

A hat for the head OF fountain,
glove for the hand of fate,
A shoe for the foot of mountain,
link from the chain of debase.
A spoke from the wheel of fortune,
chip from the pole of the South,
A drink from the fountain of knowledge,
A word from the rivers mouth.
A drop from the cup of sorrow,
A look from the face of the storm,
A stroke from the arm of justice,
A ring for the finger OF scorn.
A knock at the door of repentance,
A thrOb from the oceans heart,
A glance from the eye OF needle,
From Cupid's bow dart.
A piece of the Rock of Ages.
A plume from the wing of Time,
Some milk of human kindness,

The play Of Allan Dare, produced at the
Fifth avenue Theater on Monday, is
good bit OF property, but wont say thatit
is good play. It Is interesting; it puts
old materials to novel uses; it is full of
character aud fuller still of color, and the
story Is alive with surprises and strong
effects It is represented to be by Adj
miral ID, ID. Porter; and the Admiral ac-
knowledged the authorship by rising In his
box and bowling when the author was
called for. 1t has since been asserted
IN oEe or two newspapers that some
California author who also wrote Mark
Twaln's play land possibly all his boolzs)
was the adspter; but can hardly believe
that so great en- admiral and romancer
would sail under false colors. By the
way, the authors box on Monday night
contained, sitting side by side, the two
greatest romancers the country has re-

Gen. VIM. Tecumseh Sherman. Porter's
play may not live as long In the realm of
romance as Sherman's Memoirs and his
official reports, but the truth and proba-
bility Of Porter's inventions will always
bear as close Investigation as 6herman's
